People who looted a CVS and then burned it down, then moved on to a Cash checking store and did the same thing, are generally considered thugs.


No, people who burn down payday lenders are heroes.

LOL, because that's obviously the reason they burned it down, because payday lenders are bad.


Heroic result whatever the motive. Cheesy

That's like saying its okay for a terrorist to blow up a bank because 'evil capitalists".

I'm sure Murica and SWE will say just blowing it up is too centrist.

I can understand why he said it from a political standpoint, but it is not particularly useful thing to say in the grand scheme of things.

I think is was more directed at the violent people within the protests than the protests themselves. If so, he's right.

Yes.

And I think that there is some justification in the grand scheme of things for these riots to occur. Doesn't mean we should eschew proper labeling.

Being opposed to burning buildings to the ground as an act of protest makes you far-right?

It's always better addressing the structural causes behind the violence than calling people "thugs". I'm not even to enter into the appropriateness of using one word or another, just say that statements of good intentions are not enough. You have a serious problem in certain police departments, I think. There is a huge gap between brownies and whiteys. Discuss that.

That is not what either Oakvale or Obama have done.
